Vote for Low Taxes.

Everyone who OWNS property and pays tax

tinuing the policy of the present city govern

progress and prosper will vote at the coming
election to continue this policy. The railroad
question is no longer an issue, having been
taken to the courts for settlement. Under the
low tax rate of the present year the city has
emerged from the gloom and depression which
prevailed during the preceding four years, and
confidence has been inspired in the future of
Belfast which has already borne, and will con-
Time to bear good fruits. if the good work done
is not unaone by restoring to power those who

qualification of private animoSites, with the
opportunity for spending the peoples money
in litigation, are the only motives which actu-
ate tie ring now seekn" to regain the offices
from which they We're deposed last spring.
The higher the taxes the greater the amount
that will find its way into the pockets of those
who manipulate affairs. and the more to be
realized by shaving claims against the city.
The methods of those who controlled the city
for the four years prior to last March were lit

The interests of the whole people have been
kept in view. The promises made before the
election have been honorably kept, and every
body has shared in the benefits of Il reduction
of taxation. The prosperity of Belfast depends
upon continuance of the present policy.
